Singer-songwriter Matty Mullins of Memphis May Fire fame has announced that he is releasing
an eponymous solo album, and has unveiled the first single, entitled 'My Dear'.

Mullins says about the album:

"Memphis May Fire has my heart & will always be my first priority, but there's a side of me I've never been able to show through the MMF albums. I'm sure the content of this record
will take a lot of people by surprise because it's unlike anything I've ever done before,
but i'm so proud of it & I can't wait to share it with the world!"

Ha well put @nonsense, I was at warped tour when I heard his "speech" he said "you don't have to be a slut for guys to like you." But any other fool would switch the story around to make a good man look bad.

Like other have said; Mullins can sing - no doubt about that, but these lyrics are thinly veiled in their narrative and
ridiculously preachy. The instrumentals (if you can even call them that) are just bland, slow tempo shit. Overall a really
mediocre single, not sure if anyone expected much more tbh...

"How is Matty controversial?"
Because he wrote a song basically telling the girls that try to sleep with him and other band dudes to back off. I think he's right about that, but apparently that's "slut shaming".

He is part of the scummiest scene. I knew dudes from my hc scene that were in their 20's with underage girls on the reg. I was just as dodgy.
That shit is fucked up. He should perhaps take a look at the scene he resides in before pointing the finger at the ppl who are manipulated into sex.
I await the hilarious responses from sputnik defending him and his fellow scene dudes. Great music made by assholes.

Love his voice, but something about the music sounds kind of stale. Don't really understand what he actually did to get him such a "controversial" status amongst musicians. I feel like people might be using that word a little freely. He just seems relatively outspoken, for better and for worse.

"I await the hilarious responses from sputnik defending him and his fellow scene dudes."

yea probably not going to happen here.

and he's not really been labeled as controversial by the scene (ugh) he's just full of himself and everyone makes fun of him. the only people who thinks he's controversial are dumb bitches who think feminism has something to do with their right to be overly sexual

I used to date one of the more well known feminists on tumblr so I can hopefully shed some light here (not trying to hijack the thread).
The open sexuality thing is (it's my body and I'm in control) is libfem, and they are not very popular. The other main train of thought takes a more pragmatic and less individual approach is radical feminism. It attempts (sometimes successfully and their times not) to dismantle societal, legal and other systems that are out into place to keep the current status quo in terms of gender roles and oppression.
Now, you calling them " dumb bitches" makes you sound like a huge reddit neckbeard. A persons sexuality is their own choice but not when they have been forced or coerced into it like so many underage girls are. All underage ppl are easily impressionable and when you have someone like say, Austin Carlile (notorious shitbag) abusing this power by suggesting that underage girls sleep with him it's gross.
Now here's where I do believe there is something amiss, many band dudes are "legends" for fucking tons of "dumb bitches". But the girls who make them legends are automatically branded? I don't think so man. Like I said, sexuality is someone choice but being made to feel shitty for it it wrong. Especially when the other side under your logic, aren't allowed to.

nah you're just taking this conversation way too seriously. which doesn't surprise. but also I've been in the hospital all day for the birth of my first child. this was something I was responding to while she slept
